  • Returned

    I am back from Wiscon, have had a full night of sleep, and yet still feel totally exhausted.  How on earth have all of you other con-goers managed to write these lovely con reports and love letters to fellow attendees already?  I feel ready to fall over just typing these words! So I will write…

  • On my way out

    I’m getting ready to head off to NYC for the Nebula Awards ceremony this weekend.  I’m not nervous.  I’m just excited to have been nominated.  That’s a real honor in and of itself. So this will be my last post for a while, unless I get a chance over the next week while I’m in…

  • Sunday in Millcreek Park

    We went to Millcreek Park today, to enjoy the sun and the flowers and the people who had come out to enjoy it with each other. Even the Amish came into the city today to go to the park. We snapped a shot of them taking pictures also. There was a young guy around my…

  • Weightless

  • Next Friday, pay a visit…

    …to Sister Elizabeth Donderstock!  (Yay Brooke and Rob!  Can’t wait to see it!)

  • Ytown on Stage

    Last night at the Stage was just the most wonderful experience.  There were so many people there, so much talent and creativity and expression, and so much of it just really really good.  My friend Brooke does the most amazing things for this city and I sometimes wonder if enough people actually understand it.  I…

  • I’ll be there.

    Stop by and have some fun this Friday at The Stage at the Oakland Center for the Arts. I’ll be reading a short short story called “The Flood” (which is being published in Foundation’s 100th issue this August), and there’ll be comedians, dramatic monologues, crazy improvised hallucinogenic music-video imitations, tap dancing, independent film trailer releases, poetry,…
